Perks of Choosing a Motorcycle Over a Car

Is your car really the best way to get around town? The likely answer is no! More and more people are swapping out their cars for a motorcycle. It's a smart move in many areas, from financial to environmental to ride experience. We rounded up the top reasons to choose a motorcycle over a car below.

The Savings

Hands down, it's cheaper to use a motorcycle as your main mode of transportation. The savings come in many ways. First, the sticker price is lower. Buy a high-quality motorcycle for much cheaper than a beat-up clunker of a car. You can even get a high-quality used motorcycle for a steal of a deal.

Second, you'll save each time you fill up the gas. Motorcycles get significantly better gas mileage, so each ride around town will cost you less in fuel.

Third, motorcycles usually need maintenance less often. They are made of less moving parts than a car. This means fewer parts to break or need repairs. You'll go to the mechanic less and spend less when you do.

Finally, it's cheaper to insure a motorcycle. Since the vehicle costs less money, it costs less money for the insurance company to repair or replace. This translates to lower monthly rates for you.

Performance

A motorcycle handles differently than a car. It has a lighter frame, which translates to better agility. It also utilizes a different steering style. You get a machine that accelerates faster, turns tights, and gives a better power-to-weight ratio. To get that same ratio in a car, you would need to buy an expensive luxury sports car! 

Parking

Okay, this is a smaller reason, but still a relevant one! A big car is much harder to park than a slim motorcycle. Enjoy easier parking in your garage and downtown when you make the change.
